Now Blatty gives us <i>Dimiter</i>, a riveting story of murder, revenge, and suspense. Laced with themes of faith and love, sin and forgiveness, vengeance and compassion, it is a novel in the grand tradition of Morris West's <i>The Devil's Advocate</i> and the Catholic novels of Graham Greene. <p/><i>Dimiter </i>opens in the world's most oppressive and isolated totalitarian state: Albania in the 1970s. A prisoner suspected of being an enemy agent is held by state security. An unsettling presence, though subjected to unimaginable torture he maintains an eerie silence. He escapes---and on the way to freedom, completes a mysterious mission. The prisoner is Dimiter, the American agent from Hell. <p/>The scene shifts to Jerusalem, focusing on Hadassah Hospital and a cast of engaging, colorful characters: the brooding Christian Arab police detective, Peter Meral; Dr. Moses Mayo, a troubled but humorous neurologist; Samia, an attractive, sharp-tongued nurse; and assorted American and Israeli functionaries and hospital staff. All become enmeshed in a series of baffling, inexplicable deaths, until events explode in a surprising climax. <p/>Told with unrelenting pace, <i>Dimiter</i>'s compelling, page-turning narrative is haunted by the search for faith and the truths of the human condition. <i>Dimiter </i>is William Peter Blatty's first full novel since the 1983 publication of <i>Legion</i>.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<i>Dimiter</i> is an intelligent, tightly wound, suspenseful novel.

An Academy Award winner for his screenplay for <i>The Exorcist</i>, Blatty is not only the author of one of the most terrifying novels ever written, but, paradoxically, also cowrote the screenplay for the hilarious Inspector Clouseau film, <i>A Shot in the Dark. New York Times</i> reviewers of his early comic novels noted, Nobody can write funnier lines than William Peter Blatty, describing him as a gifted virtuoso who writes like S. J. Perelman. Blatty lives with his wife and a son in Maryland.</p>
